JEE Main & Advanced Physics Wave Optics / तरंग प्रकाशिकी Question Bank Young's Double Slit Experiment and Biprism

  • question_answer
    In two separate set - ups of the Young's double slit experiment, fringes of equal width are observed when lights of wavelengths in the ratio 1 : 2 are used. If the ratio of the slit separation in the two cases is 2 : 1, the ratio of the distances between the plane of the slits and the screen in the two set - ups is                                        [KCET 1996]

    A)            4 : 1                                          

    B)            1 : 1

    C)            1 : 4                                          

    D)            2 : 1

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                       As \[\beta =\frac{D\lambda }{d}\Rightarrow \frac{{{\beta }_{1}}}{{{\beta }_{2}}}=\left( \frac{{{D}_{1}}}{{{D}_{2}}} \right)\ \left( \frac{{{\lambda }_{1}}}{{{\lambda }_{2}}} \right)\ \left( \frac{{{d}_{2}}}{{{d}_{1}}} \right)\]            \[\Rightarrow 1=\left( \frac{{{D}_{1}}}{{{D}_{2}}} \right)\times \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)\times \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)\Rightarrow \frac{{{D}_{1}}}{{{D}_{2}}}=\frac{4}{1}\]
